The situation with electricity supply has been stabilized in the Bucha district of the Kyiv region. Emergency power cuts have been canceled, and consumers have returned to their regular schedules.
This was reported by DTEK, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
Where the situation remains difficult
At the same time, emergency power cuts continue in the Boryspil and Brovary districts of the Kyiv region. According to energy companies, isolated incidents caused by difficult weather conditions are also being recorded throughout the region.
“There are localized accidents throughout the region due to bad weather. We are doing everything possible to eliminate their consequences,” DTEK said.
What is happening in Kyiv
The situation with electricity supply in the capital remains tense. Due to network restrictions, the previously announced hourly power outage schedules are temporarily not working, and emergency power cuts continue.
According to available information, consumers in Kyiv are provided with about three hours of electricity, while periods without electricity can last up to ten hours.
What the government says
Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said that in the absence of new massive attacks since the evening of January 15, the situation with power cuts in Kyiv may improve.
According to her,
- on the right bank of the capital, the principle of 5 hours without electricity and 5 hours with electricity applies,
- while on the left bank, electricity is supplied for 3-4 hours after outages lasting up to 10 hours.
The government also assured that the difficult situation in the power system did not lead to a fuel shortage.
We will remind you that on the night of January 9, Russian troops launched a massive strike on Kyiv’s energy facilities, leaving part of the city and the region without electricity and heat. Restoration work continues in cold weather and under the constant threat of repeated attacks.
